The National President, Academic Staff Union ofUniversities, ASUU Biodun Ogunyemi has called on governments at all levels togive priority attention to education.
Ogunyemi who made the call in Awka, Akwo-Ibom state,said since the return of democracy in Nigeria twenty years ago, successivegovernments had merely paid lips service to the education sector.
He noted that as a result of this, most Nigerianuniversities were ordinary caricatures to what ideal universities should be.

He insisted that numerous challenges bedeviling thecountry such as insecurity, unemployment, drug related offences, cultism andother socio-economic cum political challenges were due to poor attention to theeducation sector.
